United States President Donald Trump says Washington had armed Iranian opposition groups and protesters during mass antigovernment demonstrations in December and January, in which thousands of people were killed during crackdowns by government forces.

    i don’t get the cope in this thread. it’s something the us does do with some regularity, and i thought you guys disliked trump’s fascism anyway.

    why the desperation to vilify iran in a war you claim to not even want to fight?

      Because this is one of those other cases where BOTH sides are bad. I KNOW! Who could have known that is possible, it’s unheard of!

        The thing with moral relativism is that it puts the two subjects on the same level. But are they?

        One side represses legitimate but dangerous riots with violence, the other kills schoolgirls at their desks during class hours.

        by the us government’s open admission, apparently not.

        and they are being fine anti imperialists lately. why vilify them at precisely this moment?
